INTRODUCTION
The UNIBLITZ D122 and T132 are capable of controlling all shutters in the UNIBLITZ line. The T132
incorporates two precise timers to control shutter exposure and delay interval. Each timer ranges from .1ms to
9999sec. Four digit pushwheel switches provide exceptional resolution for use in a multitude of shutter
applications, ranging from photography to holography. The D122 drives the shutter while relying on the users
input signal to determine exposure and frequency.
One feature of the T132 is the PRE or POST exposure delay. The PRE/POST toggle switch allows the user
to actuate the shutter immediately upon receipt of a trigger signal or delay the EXPOSURE for a
predetermined period. The period of the DELAY interval is determined from the front panel DELAY TIME
SELECT. The DELAY signal is provided to an output (BNC connector) for the DELAY interval.
In addition to the PRE/POST DELAY, the T132 can re-trigger itself continuously to provide a low-level
chopper control. In the CONT. mode the DELAY interval control acts as the recycle interval to determine the
exposure frequency. By using external control capability and this mode, exposure bursts can be controlled
using the T132 EXPOSURE and DELAY timers. Set the T132 into continuous mode and trigger the system
to begin cycling. By monitoring the pulse output the precise cutoff point can be determined and the unit can
be reset without interrupting the exposure cycle.
One feature of the D122 is the selection of interrupt mode. With the mode switch in the A position, the unit
will disable itself upon a AC line failure. When power is restored the unit will remain disabled until reset. In
the B position the unit will become disabled when a DC voltage level is removed from the interrupt input.
When the input is restored, the unit will remain disabled until reset. The STD mode will bypass the interrupt
capability. This mode selection makes the D122 more versatile for applications where the shutter must not re-
open until acted upon by the user.
The patented driver design of the D122 and T132 allows any UNIBLITZ shutter (including VS35) to be
operated to its maximum frequency as specified in the shutter data sheets.
Other features of the D122 and T132 include, automatic switching for 115VAC or 230VAC operation,
controllable via RS232 interface, normally open or normally closed operation, selectable pulse energy switch
for VS35 operation, convenient output for shutters equipped with electronic synchronization switch, and an
external regulated +5VDC supply (T132 only - +8VDC unregulated D122). A 10ft. 7-pin female to 7-pin
male shutter interconnect cable is also included with both units.
Enclosed is the complete operators manual for the UNIBLITZ T132, and D122. Please read this manual
completely before operating the unit. Due to the construction of these units, we recommend that they be
returned to the manufacturer for repair, no user serviceable parts inside.

OPERATOR CONTROLS
D122 FRONT PANEL OPERATOR CONTROLS
(Refer to Figure #1)
(T132 owners see page #12)
1. CONTROL. The five position terminal strip referred to on the driver (and throughout this manual)
as CONTROL provides access to several of the input and output connections for external operation of your
driver. Each terminal is explained below.
CONTROL #1 Output. +8VDC provided for remote switching applications or control circuits.
CONTROL #2 Pulse In. Active-high input to control shutter exposure for duration of positive pulse,
or electronic or mechanical switch contact closure. Shutter will follow pulse and frequency applied
to this input.
CONTROL #3 GND. This convenient ground point allows user to connect input or output signals
to ground common to D122 circuit.
CONTROL #4 Input. DC interrupt voltage. With key switch set to mode B, the interrupt will be
activated when input DC voltage (+8VDC) is disrupted via a switch, transistor, or similar voltage
loss. Input for DC voltage only.
CONTROL #5. Output. When interrupt is activated this normally low output is high until reset
(See Figure #1) deactivates the interrupt.
2. MODE Keyswitch. The position of the key switch sets the mode of interrupt. The interrupt switch
disables the shutter driver when a voltage interrupt is detected. Upon reset the shutter will return to the
position set by an external input or the position of the N.O./N.C switch.
A (AC interrupt mode). Prevents the driver from reopening the shutter immediately upon power-
up if the line voltage were to be interrupted. The driver remains disabled until reset is supplied by
user specified means.
B (DC interrupt mode). When the key switch is in Position B the driver will become disabled
when it detects that the DC input voltage at CONTROL #4 has been disrupted. When the voltage
level is re-applied, the driver remains disabled until reset. The DC input voltage is supplied (at
CONTROL #1), from an external circuit, or source determined by the user.
STD The STD mode bypasses the driver's interrupt capabilities. CONTROL #4 and CONTROL #5
become inactive. The D122 will not remain disabled after a disruption in line voltage.
3. DISABLED Indicator. Indicates that one of the two interrupt modes (mode A or mode B) has disabled
the driver. LED is off after reset, and STD operation.
4. N.O./N.C. Switch The position of this switch determines shutter status BEFORE a trigger signal is
received by D122. In the N.C. position your shutter will be activated open by a pulse signal. In the
N.O. position your shutter will be activated closed. The N.O./N.C switch acts to invert your shutter
operation. Any reset command will return your UNIBLITZ shutter to the position determined by this
switch.

D122 FRONT PANEL OPERATOR CONTROLS (cont.)
(Refer to Figure #1)
5. SHUTTER Indicator. This LED indicates that the D122 drive circuit is activated.
6. SYNC. Indicator. Indicates status of Solid State Sync. The green LED is illuminated when shutter's
electronic sync. is activated. This LED functions only if the shutter is equipped with the Solid State
Sync. system.
7. POWER Indicator.
8. POWER Switch.
9. RESET Switch. Resets D122 disabled by interrupts (mode A or mode B) and returns shutter to the
position determined by the N.O/ N.C., or the status of the PULSE input. (The PULSE O/C flip-flop is also
reset. If the shutter had been activated by this input the shutter will close after a reset pulse.)
Please note if an open command is sent to the RS-232 input, a reset from the front panel or RESET
input will clear the RS-232 output and the shutter will close (or return to the state as set by the N.O./N.C.
switch).

10. PULSE O/C INPUT. Allows for PULSED OPEN/PULSED CLOSED shutter operation. Sets shutter
open on first falling edge. Closes shutter on next falling edge.
11. PULSE OUTPUT. Active-low output. The duration of the low pulse is equal to the duration of the
shutter exposure pulse. This output can be used for daisy chaining D122 units together.
12. RESET INPUT. BNC Active-low input. Resets D122 disabled by interrupt (mode A or mode B) when
switched to ground by external low level logic or simply shorting to ground through a switch contact. A
low level input also returns shutter to position determined by the N.O/N.C. switch.
13. PULSE INPUT. Active-low input. Control of shutter exposure and frequency from a low going signal
source. The pulse duration determines the shutter exposure. The frequency of this input pulse will be
equal to the frequency of shutter exposures.
14. SYNC. OUTPUT. Active-low output for shutters equipped with Solid State Sync. system. The
shutter's internal sync. circuit sets a low output at this BNC connector when the shutter's sync. system is
active.
15. HIGH/LOW Switch. Pulse energy toggle switch. Switch to HIGH position for operation of VS35
shutters only. Use STD position for all other UNIBLITZ shutters.
16. SHUTTER. 7-Pin female connector to mate with 7-pin male connector of 10' shutter interconnect
cable provided with the control.
17. 115VAC/230VAC. Line voltage connector. Mates with female plug on line cord provided with D122.

T132 FRONT PANEL OPERATOR CONTROLS
(Refer to Figure #3)
1. DELAY MULTIPLIER. Clockwise rotation of the 5 position rotary switch increases the magnitude of
the PRE or POST DELAY by a factor of ten.
2. DELAY TIMER SELECT. Four pushwheel switches determine the DELAY timing range. The total
delay interval will be the product of the DELAY TIMER SELECT and DELAY MULTIPLIER. Each
depression of (+) increases each digit by one, (-) decreases each digit by one.
3. EXPOSURE TIMER SELECT. Four pushwheel switches determine the EXPOSURE timing range.
The total exposure interval will be the product of the EXPOSURE TIMER SELECT and EXPOSURE
MULTIPLIER.
4. EXPOSURE MULTIPLIER. Clockwise rotation of the 5 position rotary switch increases the
magnitude of the EXPOSURE by a factor of ten.
5. CONT./NORM Switch. Position of this switch determines single exposure operation (NORM
position) or continuous exposure operation (CONT position). In the CONT position the time between
exposures is the DELAY time interval.
6. RESET Switch. This momentary switch inhibits all functions of the unit. Depress switch to reset
both EXPOSURE and DELAY, and return all T132 outputs to their original state. Shutter state will be
returned to the status set by the N.O./N.C. switch.
7. N.O./N.C. Switch. The position of this switch will indicate how shutter will be timed, opened (N.C.) or
closed (N.O.). In the N.C. position the shutter will be opened for the desired exposure. In the N.O. position
the shutter will be timed in the closed position. Any RESET command will return the shutter to the position
determined by the N.O./N.C. switch.
8. SHUTTER Indicator. The LED indicates when your shutter is energized. In most cases this LED is
illuminated when your shutter is open (For VSR shutters the inverse is true).
9. SYNC. Indicator. LED indicates the status of the Solid State Sync. system. LED is illuminated when
the shutter's electronic sync. is active. (Operates only if shutter is equipped with Solid State Sync. system.)
10. POWER Indicator.
11. POWER Switch.
12. ACTUATE Switch. Depress this momentary switch to trigger the T132 EXPOSURE and DELAY
capabilities from the front panel.
13. PRE/POST Switch. Position of switch determines if DELAY interval occurs before (PRE) or after
(POST) EXPOSURE time. The PRE position delays the start of the shutter EXPOSURE until the end of
the DELAY interval. In the POST mode the DELAY timer is triggered after the EXPOSURE. In PRE or
POST the DELAY output will go high for the duration of the DELAY interval when the DELAY is
actuated. (Due to internal routing of control signals, be sure NORM/CONT switch is in the NORM
position before changing the state of the PRE/POST switch. If the unit is in the CONT position, the unit
may be triggered inadvertently.)

T132 REAR PANEL OPERATOR CONTROLS
(Refer to Figure #4)
14. RESET. Active-low input. Inhibits all T132 functions on the falling edge of an external reset pulse.
Both EXPOSURE and DELAY are reset, in addition to the RS-232 controller.
15. PULSE OUT. Active-low output. Normally high output goes low and remains low while the shutter is
energized. This output can be used for daisy chaining T132 units together.
16. TRIG. Active-low input. Falling edge starts EXPOSURE and DELAY sequence. This input provides
access to the T132 timer via a negative going pulse supplied from an external source.
17. PULSE IN. Active-low input. This input will bypass the internal timer and allow the user to access the
T132 shutter drive circuit. Thus the shutter will be energized when this input pulse is Active-low.
18. SYNC. Active-low output for shutters equipped with Solid State Sync. system. The shutter's internal
sync. circuit sets a low output at this BNC connector when the shutter's sync. is activated.
19. CONTROL. The five-pin connector terminal referred to on the driver (and throughout this manual) as
CONTROL provides access to several of the input and output connections for external operation of your
driver. Each terminal is explained below.
CONTROL #1. Active-high input. TRIGGER. The rising edge of a trigger signal starts EXPOSURE
and DELAY sequence. This input provides access to the T132 timer via a positive going pulse from
an external source.
CONTROL #2. Active-high input. RESET. The rising edge of a reset signal will inhibit all T132
functions. Both EXPOSURE and DELAY timers will be reset.
CONTROL #3. Active-high input. PULSE IN. This input will bypass the internal timer to allow
direct access to the T132 shutter drive circuit. The shutter will be energized while this input is high.
CONTROL #4. +5VDC output. Supplies regulated +5VDC level for external switching or to control
circuits requiring +5VDC.
CONTROL #5. GND. This convenient ground point allows the user to connect input or output
signals to ground common to the T132 circuit.
20. SHUTTER. 7-Pin female connector to mate with 7-pin male connector of 10' shutter interconnect
cable provided with the control.
21. 115VAC/230VAC. Line Voltage connector. Mates with female plug on the line cord provided with
T132. Can be directly connected to the 115VAC or 230VAC line.
22. HIGH/LOW Switch. Pulse energy toggle switch. Switch to HIGH position for operation of VS35
shutters only. Use LOW position for all other UNIBLITZ shutters.
